In the world of aesthetic treatment, constant innovation has meant more can be achieved at less cost to comfort and wellbeing. The rise in availability of non-invasive procedures has unsurprisingly been highly popular, with its promise of an end to the extreme pain of surgery and the long, delicate healing process.

Laser hair removal is one such innovation and while it has not had to supplant surgeries that are quite as painful as some aesthetic treatments, it still guarantees extra comfort, speed and effectiveness compared to some older methods. Wax stripes that tear away patches of hair or long phases of tender, stinging manual hair plucking have been consigned to the past by the use of lasers in removing unwanted hair.

Canada MedLaser, a specialist clinic offering services in Mississauga, Vaughan and Newmarket, uses the GentleMax brand of lasers for its service that guarantees results while also being relatively quick and painless. And for a limited time, they are currently offering a 40% discount for laser hair removal bookings.

The hair removal process works by delivering light energy in the direction of hundreds of hair follicles at the same time, either damaging or destroying them and preventing the hair from growing back. The laser pulses twice per second, which is quicker than older laser therapy technologies. Due to its heightened effectiveness, Canada MedLaser suggests patients may only need between four and eight treatments – although an unlimited treatment plan is also available for more complex procedures.

While new laser therapy technologies have created extra speed and effectiveness, they have also enhanced the level of comfort for patients. The GentleMax laser uses a special cooling technology where a cryogen spray is applied to the treatment area in a quick burst, right before the laser begins pulsing. This speeds up the overall treatment because there is no need to numb or lubricate the skin beforehand. Extra treatment in the form of topical anaesthetic cream is also available if required, which can vary depending on where the treatment is being conducted – the legs, cheeks, lips, back, underarms or arms.

Anyone undergoing the GentleMax treatment could find some mild redness or swelling immediately after treatment, which is actually a sign that the follicles are responding well. Patients are also advised not to continue plucking or waxing once treatment has started, and to apply sunscreen to treated areas afterwards.

At Canada MedLaser, all therapists have had the necessary training and accreditation to carry out laser hair removal. Cases of treatments carried out by unqualified individuals have included severe cases of burns and scarring, underlining the importance of checking the credentials of any clinic before undergoing treatment.

A spokesperson for Canada MedLaser said: “At Canada MedLaser, all our staff have undergone the necessary specialized training that meets government standards and are under full supervision by qualified clinicians. People should beware of services offered by untrained, non-accredited clinics and individuals, which often advertise services at suspiciously cheap rates.”

Mental health issues are complex, with often widely differing causes and symptoms. Because of the inherently unpredictable and unique nature of mental health issues, it means they also require treatments and therapies that are equally unique – there is no one-size-fits-all in mental health therapy.

In recent years, clinicians and institutions that specialize in treating mental health issues have demonstrated genuine innovation in developing new and unusual treatment approaches. Therapies now range from the traditional counselling and addiction detox, to the more creative and holistic such as art therapy, music therapy and even horticultural therapy.

“In the distant past, too often the go-to solution for mental health conditions – as with physical conditions – was either medication or intense one-to-one counselling and analysis,” says a spokesperson for Addiction Rehab Toronto, a specialist clinic that tackles a range of issues from addiction to various hard and prescription drugs, gambling and alcohol, to sex addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder and general anxiety and depression. 

“But in many cases, this is simply not necessary nor the best solution. For example, art therapy provides a creative outlet for patients to express their fears, anxieties and addictive needs through imaginative exercises that use a variety of different artistic forms. We often find that channelling difficult thoughts and feelings through art can help patients communicate their deepest concerns.”

The clinic also offers music therapy, which is another way of channelling individual emotions and enabling patients to get themselves into a healthy state of mind. This can be through karaoke, dance and movement therapy, mindfulness, using instruments or even writing actual songs. The clinic’s specialist teams also conduct this in a group setting, to let people know they are not alone in their current difficulties.

Addiction Rehab Toronto also provides more traditional therapies such as one-to-one counselling, cognitive behaviour therapy, psychotherapy and anger management. It is fully accredited and staffed by a diverse, specialized team of experts in their field, including therapists, addiction specialists and addiction counsellors, while there are also regular visits from personal trainers, art therapists, music therapists, yoga instructors, nutritionists and social workers.

In addition, the clinic provides treatments of a more physical nature, including yoga, pilates, reiki healing and Muay Thai, which offer numerous benefits to those who are best suited to this type of therapy.

The clinic’s more physical therapies are designed for those who would benefit most from exercises in improving strength, dexterity and their cardiovascular system, which often has a knock-on effect for their mental health. Such therapies also teach responsibility and self-reliance and can boost confidence through the very empowering effects they have from a physical perspective.

Self-reliance is at the heart of another recovery program the clinic offers, called Smart Recovery. Using approaches normally associated with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Smart Recovery aims to empower individuals to overcome their own difficulties themselves. The program has a four-step set of what it describes as “teaching lessons”, which begins with embedding abstinence, followed by finding the causes of triggers and cravings, before turning the focus towards the individual’s own thoughts and feelings that may be negatively affecting their life, and finally encouraging a healthy lifestyle that helps prevent any relapses.
